A lecture by Richard Dawkins

Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests". I suspect that Dr John Habgood, the Archbishop of York, probably belongs to the third of these groups, so I shall begin with them.

The "no-contests" are rightly reconciled to the fact that religion cannot compete with science on its own ground. The

Recycle your garbage day - on Earth Day

Please consider this. Holy books are garbage that do nothing but harm. Why not round up as many as you can on Earth day and take them to a recycling facility near you? That way you could take something that has cause immeasurable harm, and turn it into something actually useful! Just an idea!

Do atheists write hate mail?

So I was watching the PBS Judgement Day: Intelligent Design and Evolution on Trial, and I watched the part where the town of Dover pretty much divided itself. At the same time the Rhem family and the Katzmiller family, and every other family who sued Dover, received so many death threats in the hate mail over the issue. I recently received a newspaper published by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and they had one section of just hate mail from theists. So maybe I am overly exposed to the hat… Continue

Gratitude.

Lately, I've been reading different stories about how people became atheists. As personal stories about internal conflicts and realization usually are, some of them were emotional, sad and some even downright enraging.

After a while, after each such story I finished, I started getting this annoying feeling, this sense that something was missing. Eventually, I realized, I was jealous. Yes, jealous! Why don't I have this sort of story? Where was… Continue

Greg House M.D atheist & My creationist co-worker strategy

So I am hoping someone can clue me in on last night's episode of House. He was reading that book of sermons by his biological father, but please tell me, or atleast reassure me he is not losing his atheist touch. It would be a shame to have those right wing nuts at Fox telling the writers to make him more spiritual or it gets cancelled. Fox has been known to cancel some really good shows (anyone remember Firefly and Arrested Development?). Ok, so that may be a huge leap in logic, and I acknowled… Continue

From a place of ignorance...

It never ceases to amaze me how the faithful can be completely against a concept that they clearly don't comprehend. It shouldn't, but it does.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. One who refuses to be a slave is a slave as a result? It blatantly asks everyone not to think! This is clearly why theists have such trouble when it is challenged to questio

I know! It should have convinced the builder that the Bible cannot be taken literally and is full of crap. It'd be like acknowledging Santa cannot possibly fly through the sky with reindeer pulling his sleigh, but insisting it's real anyway.
